Abstract

A wide range of statistical indicators can be compiled from the results of annual economic surveys of the Census and Statistics Department for analysing the business situation and performance of various economic sectors in Hong Kong. Among others, statistics on sectoral concentration can throw light on the extent of business concentration within individual sectors. This article analyses the extent of business concentration in selected economic sectors of Hong Kong by making reference to the concentration ratios and Herfindahl-Hirschman Indices in terms of business receipts in 2005 and 2006.
